realize 可以和problem 搭配吗
■李翔
新译林版《初中英语》八年级下册(中方主编王守仁何锋译林出版社 2013年11月第2版 2018年10月第6次印刷)P9上有这样一句话:Later the government realized the problem and took action to improve the situation. 其中的 “realized the problem” 意思是“意识到这个问题”,此处realize的汉语意思是“意识到”, 英语意思是“to understand or become aware of a particular fact or situation” (Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary (8th edition Oxford University Press 2010电子版) 此时,realize用法如下:
~(that)… I didn't realize (that) you were so unhappy.
The moment I saw her, I realized something was wrong.
~ how, what, etc… I don't think you realize how important this is to her.
~ (sth) I hope you realize the seriousness of this crime.
Only later did she realize her mistake.
从以上可以看出,可以说realize sth, 那么realize 可以和problem搭搭吗?
通过查阅资料,具体情况如下:

另外,根据《朗文当代高级英语辞典》(英英·英汉双解新版) (外语教学与研究出版社2019年5月第1版)realize和problem都属于口语及书面中最基本的1000个单词范围,然而以上所列举的词典都没有realize和problem搭配的例句,可见不能绝对说realize和problem不能搭配,但至少是不常搭配。
原译林版《牛津初中英语》(Fun With English)8B(译林出版社 2006年12月第2版 2007年11月第2次印刷)P9有这样的句子:Later,the government realized it was a very serious problem and took action to reduce the pollution. 显而易见,本句realize后面跟的是省略that的宾语从句,而不是realize 和直接problem搭配,可见当时编者也认为realize 和problem不常搭配。不知道什么原因,后来改为realize 和直接problem搭配。
